Chokoleit has no reason to be envious of Vice Gandas success

BY NAPOLEON QUINTOS

Chokoleit and Vice Ganda have long been compared to each other as to who is the better stand up comedian. While Vice has the daytime variety program Showtime, Chokoleit will soon be seen on primetime as part of the new teleserye Mara Clara. Chokoleit will play gay godfather CG who was first played by Eagle Riggs in the original Mara Clara.

Vice'rsquo;s Petrang Kabayo was a remake of an old Roderick Paulate movie. Chokoleit revealed that he is a big fan of Roderick and he has a couple of favorite Roderick films he wants to remake with himself in the roles. "I'rsquo;m a Roderick Paulate fan. Ever since alam ni Kuya Dick ang paghanga ko sa kanya. Era ko kasi 'lsquo;yan. Kung pwede kong i-remake 'lsquo;yung mga dating movies'nbsp;niya, gusto ko 'lsquo;yung Ako si Kiko, Ako si Kikay at 'lsquo;yung Bala at Lipstick."

Chokoleit went on to dismiss rumors that he feels insecure because of Vice who is said to have completely overshadowed him. "Pwede pa siguro akong magsalita ng masama, na naiinggit ako kay Vice kung hindi ako nabigyan ng pagkakataon. Pero I'rsquo;ve had my time, my own success."

According to Chokoleit, he is very happy with the success that Vice is reaping, which only shows that on TV and movies and that there is room for other gay comedians like them. "Si Vice Ganda kasi perfect timing lahat ng nangyayari sa career niya. Sa aming mga stand-up comedians, the more the merrier. The good thing na nandiyan ang mga katulad ni Vice at Pooh is we should always be on our toes. Maraming magagaling kaya dapat galingan mo lagi. Tsaka hindi naman pwedeng lahat ng projects sa iyo lang. Mas maraming kami, mas maraming napapasaya."
